Dr. Reid is the best orthopedic surgeon out there. Various friends and family have seen Dr. Reid for different orthopedic issues, including for chronic back pain, bulging discs, broken bone, and, most recently, for a painful shoulder tear. Dr. Reid always diagnosed the issues efficiently and accurately -- he even caught issues that other medical professionals missed, which speaks to the breadth of his expertise. Importantly, Dr. Reid only recommends necessary procedures/treatments. Not only is Dr. Reid incredibly experienced and knowledgeable, he also genuinely cares about his patients, their wellbeing, and their health outcomes. Unlike most doctors, Dr. Reid goes out of his way to explain complicated medical issues and procedures to his patients in uncomplicated terms. Dr. Reid has a unique ability to reassure his patients while being honest about medical issues and potential risks associated with the various treatment plans. Finally, Dr. Reid's office staff is stellar--Haydee, in particular, went above and beyond to schedule a MRA for us after issues involving insurance and the imaging center. He is the only orthopedic doctor we'd see, such that we followed him to his current location in Culver City (which is over an hour away from us) and chose to see him even though he was out of network for us. Thank you, Dr. Reid, for everything! read more

Dr. James Reid said I needed surgery for a broken toe. He took an X-ray and gave me a wrap. Billed my insurance $2,000 for the visit. I went to another doctor and he said I didn't need surgery. This guy is no good. I'm pretty sure his practice is hurting financially likely from the pandemic. He could be a decent doctor based on what I've read in other reviews but I would not trust him. It's such a shame how unethical these doctors in LA are. read more

Recently had ankle surgery with Dr Reid at Culver City surgical center and I must say what an amazing experience. From Laura and the staff, to the anesthesiologist and especially Dr Reid are a remarkable group of people. They follow up and care is like no other. Thank you Dr Reid for taking good care of me. read more

Had an isssue with my knees. DrReid saw me immediately. As a nervous person, he put me at my ease and walked me through all the possible scenarios. His light sense of humor and attentiveness ensured that I understood each step. Electing to have surgery, every step of the way was professional and informative. The day of the surgery went swimmingly, and Dr Reid was kind enough to follow it up with a house call, which was totally above and beyond. His staff, Laura et al explained the billing and helped me navigate the confusing insurance process. From there, regular check ins and updates made rehab easy. First rate experience and I could not be happier with the outcome. Truly five star!! read more

Dr. Reid is the man! How can anyone knock him? He's hip, he's young, he's got a sense of humor, he takes his job seriously, and he's well-qualified. Most importantly, he made my ankle good again. I was referred to him by Mt. Tam Orthopedics in Marin County after I was experiencing pain in my right ankle from a history of ankle sprains related to basketball. I had my left ankle operated on several years ago by Dr. Keohane at Mt. Tam, but he decided it was best for me to see a foot/ankle specialist. So, off I go to Dr. Reid (in his practice in Marin). Immediately after inspecting my MRI and my ankle, he told me, "your ankle is in bad shape." Yes, I kinda figured since it hurts to walk (I'm 30 years old). My something or other ligaments were all shredded to bits and I had a bone spur on my tibia. I basically knew I had to have surgery and was not surprised by the diagnosis. That being said, he did not force the decision upon me. All he did was lay out all the facts, go over my MRI with me in detail, and gave me my options. Fast forward a few weeks later and I'm having surgery. Surgery was a success. He called me a day later to see how I was doing (I didn't pick up since I was totally drugged up and out of it from the anesthesia) but he left me a nice message and gave me his cell phone if I had any questions. That's the first time a doctor has given me his or her cell phone number. Really nice gesture, I thought. Fast forward one month and three casts later, and I'm ready to get into a walking boot and start physical therapy. My time with Dr. Reid is done...until I need my left ankle operated on again... But, the dude is moving to LA and starting work at a new practice. Something about politics and business that forced this decision. It's really a shame because he has been my favorite doctor so far. It seems everyone is bummed that he's leaving too. For reference, I visited the Marin practice for diagnosis and follow-ups but had surgery at the San Francisco practice (as he told me he was more familiar with the people and resources there). I asked him to refer me to the best physical therapist for my situation and he said, "call this guy up, he would be the guy I would go to if I wanted to get back 100%." Unfortunately, the guy he referred me to was out of network for me, but still, this kind of information is what I like to get from my doctor. Dr. Reid, it's a shame you're leaving the area, but I'm willing to make the trip to LA for my other ankle sometime in the future. I was referred to him by Mt. Tam Orthopedics in Marin County after I was experiencing pain in my right ankle from a history of ankle sprains related to basketball. I had my left ankle operated on several years ago by Dr. Keohane at Mt. Tam, but he decided it was best for me to see a foot/ankle specialist. read more

Dr. Reid is with Sportsmed Orthopaedic Group, for which I've also written a Yelp review. If you need an opinion on a messed up foot or ankle, I highly recommend Dr. Reid. Contrary to the experience described in Joy's review, I felt that I got an honest, straightforward, expert opinion from him. I wasn't needlessly scared or treated poorly at all. By contrast, he was diplomatic, nice, and clear. His office has fit me in when other doctors would not, and the staff has been incredibly nice and cool. And from my limited understanding as a patient--gained over several weeks of frenzied Googling and scans of medical journals--Dr. Reid's surgical approach appears to have shown the best outcomes for my particular problem. I don't know why other Yelp reviews seem to give him a bad rap for bedside manner, which was fine in my book. But the qualities that make a good surgeon aren't necessarily the same warm, fuzzy personality traits you might seek in another kind of practitioner. read more

Dr. Reid is fantastic and I'm so grateful to have him as my surgeon. The past several months have been grueling but having him on my team has definitely made it better. He's been upbeat and encouraging at every office visit and he did a great job putting me back together. He's included me in all the decisions and always shows me my x-rays. I feel included and cared for. I would recommend him to anyone needing surgery. read more

Dr. James Reid didn't operate on my ACL. Another Sportsmed surgeon, don't feel comfortable identifying him, performed the operation. He did a great job on the surgery but post op - not so much. He believes in self therapy not physical therapy, which should be the standard in rehabilitation. Six months after my surgery, I thought my knee was ok, albeit a bit stiff and unsteady and atrophied. Dr. Reid was the on-call doctor when I called about my scar. He told me to jump and squat and asked how I landed and how it felt. He said I had to see a physical therapist even though I told him my surgeon said it was unnecessary. The background: my surgeon showed me briefly three times (before and after surgery) a few bending exercises to help strengthen and stabilize my knee. He didn't give me any printed instructions or illustrations. When I again asked to see a therapist, he said it was unnecessary if I just did his exercises as instructed. I admit I didn't completely follow his instructions. I didn't start the exercises right after my surgery, as he recommended because it was so painful. Now I know people may say, that it was my fault and that I should have sucked it up to painful recovery. But more guidance, especially during the painful one month post op is critical if the patient has no idea of his or her progress. If the exercises are painful, how do I know if I'm doing them correctly? When I showed the Physical Therapist the exercises that my surgeon instructed, she told me I was doing them wrong and gave me additional exercises. Within two months, I was able to jog, strengthen and bend my knee. read more

Dr. Reid performed a revision hammertoe toe surgery on me in 2018. When I showed him how the pin inside my second toe broke which resulted in a crossed toe with my third toe, he reassured me he could correct it, that "it would definitely look better after the procedure." After six weeks posr surgery, my toe could not touch the ground, I had completely lost my balance when I walk. It has been two and a half years now, and not a day goes by without regretting for my impulsive decision of going to this doctor for the procedure. read more

Dr Reid was professional, kind and did a fantastic job. Clearly this guy knows his stuff. His office got me an appointment quickly. I have a neuroma (growth on a nerve) in my foot that needed a steroid injection to shrink. Dr. Reid was precise and painless. I've seen lots of ortho docs in my day (I'm 50 and active and have had lots of sports injuries). Dr Reid was clearly the best I've seen in years. In fact I traveled from Northern California to LA just to see him. I'm in the healthcare industry and know all too well the variability of care from different doctors. This guy is incredible. I would highly recommend him for any orthopedic needs. read more

He doesn't even deserve a single star ,I had a double compound fracture to my right leg and he tried to repeatedly give me opiates when I before loud and clear made a statement to him and staff from the gate No opiates or narcotics ! I'd rather take the pain than getting that evil shit by far to say the least!! I understand cloraform gassing me during surgery ,then I felt a feeling like he was angry and he got openly annoyed by this when I repeatedly asked his nurses what they were putting in my IV , thankfully I did because on 3 seperate times before and after surgery ,I intercepted the evil junk from my IV ,found out why he was annoyed ,because he gets the most perks and payoffs for dishing out opiates !!! it's no secret either, then I was discharged with a prescription for them anyways!! including a high black box warning and recalled deadly antibiotic called Levoflacoxoicin that had 98 % Chance of not side but CAUSE effects of tendon rupture ,calf muscle ripping ,and Achilles damage , tendonitis,etc,!!!what kind of antibiotic does that??!! and to to top it off they never even tested it on me at the hospital first !! And unbelievably it says that it may give you a false positive opiate drug test if you had to take one ?it made me look into what he exactly prescribed me upon discharge and how it even got filled and sold to me at the pharmacy,he might aswell have been MY ENEMY , don't have any but if I did his actions and malpractice fit scary,while getting payed for it ,it disgust me ,and it made feel insecure and out right terrified.Im not a Isolated victim I found out either, which was not difficult ,he knew what he was doing without a shred or strand of a doubt and was aware of how bad this antibiotic is and had knowledge of it's recall and what it's been discontinued for for,I got the last batch of it ,and he knew to only give to me at discharge,I can't believe it !! I'm not done exposing him by far!!this is the start!!! read more

Dr Reid did surgery on my fractured ankle . I spent 6 weeks non weight bearing. When the six weeks was up, he said I needed another surgery to further fix my ankle with another 6 weeks non weight bearing. When I was in the hospital, he wrote on my bed sheet in red: " 6 weeks non weight bearing!" This was so rude ! I know that the surgery was not done correctly the first time. Dr Reid is rude and a bad surgeon. 3 years later, I had to have an ankle replacement due to arthritis. I should have had only 1 surgery that was done correctly. I had to see Dr Reid since I went to the emergency room and I had to go to his orthopedic clinic. DO NOT have this doctor operated on you!! read more

I went to Dr. Reid to get a bunion removed. I had waited a long time to get this surgery because I had done my left foot six years prior and was not impressed with the results. I opted to have surgery because I was experiencing pain. The surgery went very well and I was walking within 2 weeks and running(even though not recommeneded) in 2 1/2 months. I would recommend Dr. Reid read more

I had a bad fall down some stairs and really hurt my ankle. I went to the ER and was told the bad news-compound fracture. When I asked who they recommended for surgery, I got a couple doctor's names for a follow up appointment. I saw two other orthopaedic surgeons before choosing Dr. Reid. He was more than willing to see me on the same day that I called-which was a change. I read about his medical background and credentials online before I met him, but I was surprised at how well he listened to me and explained what would be the best treatment. I had the surgery and he did a great job! I'm walking again without pain and cannot thank him enough. In fact, I've even sent my friends to him because I was so impressed by him. read more

Where did he go? He took an unannounced leave of absence a few days after operating on me in May 2019. Not a word since. Nobody could tell me what happened or where he went. Thank goodness his very professional colleagues picked up where he left me. Very very disappointed. read more

Dr Reid is amazing, not only did he help me with my ankle, he was considerate enough to follow up with me for the next few weeks. From start to finish his bed side manner was some of the best I have ever seen. I have recommended Dr. Reid to many friends and will continue to do so. Thank you Dr. Reid read more

I went to Dr. Reid based on Yelp reviews on him and his practice partner and I was very disappointed. I have no doubt that Dr. Reid was very qualified however his bedside manner left much to be desired. He needlessly scared me with the thought of surgery when I was already in pain from my injury and the crutches. If he insists on surgery I would definitely get a second opinion...UCSF has a great foot/ankle center. read more

Dr. Reid saw me after I dislocated and fractered my ankle in 2009. Unfortunately he moved to LA before I could have my ankle repaired. Five years later my ankle is less than satifactory. I wish he was available for my surgery because at least I felt he cared about my outcome. read more
